Framed
Unjustly Accused: "Framed" by Jerry Reed
Lyrics
I was walkin' down the street, minding my own affair
I was walking down the street, minding my own business
When two policemen grabbed me unaware
Two policemen unexpectedly apprehended me
They said, is your name Henry, I says why sure?
They inquired if my name is Henry, and I confirmed
He says you're the boy I been lookin' for
They claimed I was the person they were searching for
I was framed, framed, I was blamed
I was falsely accused and set up
Framed, well I never do nothing
I insist that I never engage in wrongful activities
But I always get blamed, oh framed
Despite my innocence, I always find myself being blamed
They took me to the line where those bright lights shine
They escorted me to a place where bright lights illuminate
There was ten poor souls like me in that line
Among ten others like me, I realized I was not alone
I knew I was a victim of someone's evil plan
I sensed I was a victim of a sinister plot
When a stool-pigeon walked in an' says
A traitor walked in and pointed at me, saying, "That's your man!"
Thats your man!
I was framed and wrongly accused
I was framed, framed, I was blamed
Reiteration of being framed and blamed
Oh, framed, framed, framed
Emphasizing the false accusation
Well, I never do nothing
I maintain my innocence and claim not to be involved in any wrongdoing
But I always get blamed
Despite my innocence, I am consistently blamed
Well, the prosecuting attorney started a-prosecuting me
The prosecutor began questioning and accusing me
Man, that cat didn't give me the one, but the third degree
The prosecutor was relentless in interrogating me
He says, where were you in the night of July 1953
He questioned my whereabouts on a specific night in 1953
Man, I was just home, just a tweedle-ee-dee
I assert that I was at home, just minding my own business
I was framed, oh framed, I was blamed
Reiteration of being framed and blamed
Oh, framed, framed, framed
Emphasizing the false accusation
Well, I never do nothing
Despite my innocence, I maintain that I am not guilty
But I always get framed, oh framed
Despite being innocent, I always find myself framed
Oh framed
Reiteration of being framed
